Rapper Ice T is having to answer for footage originally taken more than eight months ago that was just leaked for the first time over the weekend.
The video released over the weekend shows the “Law & Order: SVU” actor being pulled over by a New Jersey police officer for expired tags. He is heard saying, “I’m going to the DMV to get my registration and everything straight on this car.”
Despite the explanation, the officer discovered that his tags and driver’s license were expired, leading to the confrontation getting more heated. When asked what time his appointment was at the DMV, the “New Jack Hustler” rapper said he didn’t have an appointment, and claimed that the staff would “know him” and simply let him in.
When the officer explains that he is going to take the keys and have the car towed, Ice T says in response, “If I’m not under arrest, I’m getting out of the car. Give me my paperwork you f***ing a**hole. Give me my f***ing paperwork!”
He later adds, “Get this on camera. This motherf***er ... I’m a foot away from the DMV. You’re a f***ing a**hole… Let me start recording your dumba**.”
Watch the entire interaction below:
When another officer arrived, he convinced his coworker to not have the rapper’s vehicle towed. However, he still gives Ice T four tickets.
Naturally, social media also caught wind of the footage and started to hound the West Coast rap legend on social media. Ice T made sure to respond to any and everyone who was annoying him.
In one post that reposted the police footage, the “Law & Order” actor commented, “That’s a year old… lol.”
But his response to the people who continued to agitate him did not stop there.
This isn’t the first time the “Cop Killer” rapper has gone on a rant after an encounter with the authorities. In 2010, he was pulled over by police after driving with a suspended license, according to the New York Post.
As a result, he went on a long-winded rant on Twitter, writing in a post, “Some punk b***h rookie cop named Fisher made the arrest of his bull s**t career today.”
He later added, “Arresting the Notorious Ice-T for no seatbelt!”
